Introduction

The rise of antimicrobial resistance to currently available therapeutic regimens for the treatment of infections has sternly affected the safety of public across the globe [1,2]. Almost all microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungi, virus, and parasite) capable of infection have coupled with high levels of multidrug resistance (MDR) which leads to the significant morbidity and mortality [3-5]. It frequently coupled with increased healthcare cost and prolonged hospital days [6]. Despite of better understanding of pathogenesis of infection, the rate of discovery of new drugs is declining more rapidly in contrast to rate at which microbes acquired resistance [7]. Therefore, this has put selective pressure on the discovery of new medicines and has less chance of resistance due to the presence structural diversity [8].

The hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common viral infection caused by Enterovirus belonging to the family Picornaviridae [9,10]. It majorly affects infants and children younger than 5 years old causing rashes, with rare instance of neurological disorder that can swiftly get worse to cardiopulmonary collapse [11]. According to recent estimates of WHO, China is severally affected by HFMD which is responsible for 431 deaths and 1,520,274 new infections up to end of July in 2012 [12]. Despite of advances in pathogenesis and etiology of the disease, no direct acting antiviral drugs are currently available to treat severe infection [13]. Therefore, the discovery of novel drug is urgently needed. Recently, Shia et al. has reported the discovery the pyridyl imidazolidinones as a novel class of entreroviral 71 inhibitor [14]. It acts via engaging the caspid protein. 1,3,5-triazine is also reported to exhibit number of pharmacological activity, such as, antibacterial [15], antimalarial [16], antidiabetic [17], CFTR inhibitor [18], carbonic anhydrase inhibitor [19] and antiviral agent [20].

Prompted by the above, the present manuscript deals with the development of novel conjugates of imidazolidin-2-one with 1,3,5-triazine as inhibitor of Enterovirus 71 and Coxsackievirus A16 to bring novel chemical diversity.

The medium was then restored with a fresh medium containing compounds at diverse concentrations (40-0.05 μg/mL). After 2 and further incubation of 24 h at 37°C, the medium was removed, the cells were washed with phosphate buffer solution (PBS, pH 7.4) and then 10 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL in PBS) were added to the each well. Formazan crystals were dissolved in 100 μL of a sodium dodecylsulfate solution (10% of SDS in HCl 0.01 M) and mixed with the above mixture which was further incubated for 4h. After overnight incubation (12-14 h) the absorbance was measured at 595 nm with a Tecan Ultra Evolution microplate reader. The mean absorbance for each dose of compound was expressed as a percentage of the untreated control well absorbance.

Results and Discussion

Chemistry

The desired compounds 2, 3, 4(a-j), 5(a-j) and 6(a-j) were synthesised by the protocols as shown in Scheme 1. In first step, synthesis of mono-substituted 1,3,5-triazines 2 was achieved by the nucleophilic substitution of Cl atom of the 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (1) with excess amount of ammonia gas. Whereas, in the second step, synthesis of disubstituted 1,3,5-triazines (3) was accomplished by nucleophilic substitution of the Cl atom of mono-substituted 1,3,5-triazines (2) with pyridin-4-amine. Whereas, in the third step, synthesis of tri-substituted 1,3,5-triazines 4 (a-j) were accomplished by the nucleophilic substitution at Cl atom of disubstituted 1,3,5-triazine (3) with different amines (a-j) as shown in Scheme 1. In the fourth step, synthesis of intermediate compounds 5(a-j) was accomplished by the reaction of 2-chloroethyl isocyanate with tri-substituted 1,3,5- triazine 4a-j. Moreover, the fifth step corresponds to the synthesis of title compounds 6 (a-j) via cyclization of side chain of 1-(2-chloroethyl) urea at 1,3,5- triazine by addition of sodium hydride.

Biological activity

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackievirus A16 (COX A16) are two viruses belonging to the Picornaviridae family, deemed as the causative agents of Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). It is a common infectious disease affecting mainly infants and children. As per World Health Organization (WHO), over two million cases were diagnosed in the year 2013, including Japan, Vietnam, Singapore and making China as top most affecting country with 1,855,457 cases [12]. Currently, there is no antiviral drug for the treatment this infection, thus, synthesized analogues were also tested for its inhibitory activity against EV71 and COX A16 showed in Table 1. In Plaque reduction inhibitory assay, target analogues showed diverse range of inhibition. Compound 6a showed considerable inhibition of infection with IC50 of 15.53 and 19.30 μM against EV71 and COX A16, respectively. The activity has been improved more than three fold in the case of compound 6b against EV17 with mild reduction against COX A16. The further drastic reduction in activity was observed in the case of compound 6d and 6e against both the tested virus. However, a substantial improvement in activity was reported by compound 6f and 6g, isomeric substitution of methyl group, on meta and ortho, respectively. Further loss in activity was reported by compounds having the hydroxyl group against EV71 and COX A16, except compound 6j which showed prominent inhibition among all the derivatives against EV71. It showed significant inhibition of infection against both the tested virus species. All synthesized derivatives showed no significant anti-viral activity as compared Ribavirin standard drug. No specific upsurge in activity was reported by the tested compounds, containing electron withdrawing substituent. It was indicated that, the inhibitory activity of the tested compounds does not follow any specific pattern of inhibition. Thus it would be hard to define any structural-activity relation for these compounds against EV71 and COX A16.

Conclusion

In conclusion the present study deals with the development of novel imidazolidin-2-one-1,3,5-triazine conjugates via facile synthetic route. The structure of the all synthesized derivatives was ascertained by using various spectroscopic analyses. All compounds were assessed for the determination of inhibitory activity against Enterovirus 71 and Coxsackievirus A16. The results of the investigation revealed that, entire set of target derivatives showed considerable inhibition against both the tested virus in plaque reduction inhibitory assay with no cyto toxicity.
